Yeah. It's funny now watching the pundits try to come up with something to talk about - they could always mention City's cheating but it's all swept conveniently under the carpet unlike spygate.

Very poor game. Been building it up for weeks and it's tepid.

Very little mention of the Man City cheating on Sky so far yet for our game they led with it and constantly talked about it ahead of the match.

Clearly because we won the game with 10 men.

Nothing clear cut to be fair. In fact Leo had the best chance after the sending off but their keeper pulled off a very good save.

Don't believe so.

No because VAR can't intervene after a ref has already awarded a yellow card.

He did look absolutely devastated. Being a lifelong fan of the club and an academy product it's easy to understand him taking it so badly - he knows the passion and feelings over these derby games and would have been gutted at his actions putting the result in jeopardy. I'm glad for him that the boys were able to dig in and get the win. He'll learn from it although I know there are some on here who don't rate him but I think he has lots of potential.

It was after he was clearly fouled but ref didn't give it. Azaz saw the red mist and steamed in with a hard tackle but didn't win the ball. A yellow card was the correct outcome imo.

When was he poor? Asking for a friend.

Think the booking was for the shirt pull which was clear and obvious.

Why?

That's how I saw it. Tonda would have put some subs on at about 60 minutes and I think it would have finished 2 or 3 nil.

Would be 3rd now without the poxy 4 point deduction.

Proud of the lads for that second half. Brilliant performance with 10 men and a massive 3 points. Can't pick a man of the match because it goes to the team. Great to see Jander back. On to Norwich and Tonda will have to look at who is going to be fit because that was a brutal game. Yesssssssss!!!!

He doesn't.

Sacrifice JWP for me. He's been very poor.

You can't blame Manning.

Bragg showed his inexperience. He knows he's on a yellow yet still decides to pull his opponents shirt after a poor touch. Bree and JWP on the right not working and if we don't change it that is likely where Pompey will get back in. Take off JWP and bring on Jander if he's ready or Matsuki. Going to be hard now and we've brought that on ourselves. I think with 11 we'd have made some big subs on 60 minutes and finished them off.

I would think, for a young 33 year old manager, taking his side from lower mid table to finish 4th and 6th or 7th this season (assuming you are correct) might bring quite a few people Knocking.

Match day heads on here - there's a big job to be done. We can save the smiles for when we've hopefully bagged the 3 points and bragging rights.

Fucking Jobo Thatsenough in St Marys doing the game for Sky. Hope he gets pelters.

Not sure but it probably means walking football is back 🙂

But is he better on the right than Matsuki or Fellows?
